Update Electron version. Version 34 (very close to) EOL

nein3m · May 22, 2025, 5:43pm

Hello.

Obsidian 1.8.10 uses Electron 34.2.0, which is basically EOL.

Electron 34.0.0 EOL date: 2025-Jun-24 (very soon!)

Also, I’m secretly hoping updating Electron fixes the no window shadow bug for me under Wayland.

bug

### Description When using `Window frame style: Hidden`, the Obsidian window do…es not have any shadow behind it. On the other hand, when I ran the AppImage version of Obsidian, that window did have shadow behind it. ### Obsidian Version ```bash session $ flatpak info md.obsidian.Obsidian Obsidian - Markdown-based knowledge base ID: md.obsidian.Obsidian Ref: app/md.obsidian.Obsidian/x86_64/stable Arch: x86_64 Branch: stable Version: 1.8.10 License: LicenseRef-proprietary=https://obsidian.md/eula Origin: flathub Collection: org.flathub.Stable Installation: system Installed: 634.8 MB Runtime: org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/24.08 Sdk: org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/24.08 Commit: b3d942197d9c9a1fb3f9620ce0180f5ba9614c79d8b5df2742c45a9773044671 Parent: d899b91b355cec313f16c220e1b5c6b910f09faa30b5b1f42e3c07ed967bbbde Subject: Update gh module (75e98ff3cdde) Date: 2025-05-20 01:05:05 +0000 ``` ### Sandbox Permissions ```bash session $ flatpak info md.obsidian.Obsidian --show-permissions [Context] shared=network;ipc; sockets=x11;wayland;pulseaudio;fallback-x11;ssh-auth; devices=dri; filesystems=home;/media;xdg-run/gnupg:ro;/mnt;/run/media;~/.local/share/fonts:ro;xdg-run/app/com.discordapp.Discord:create; persistent=~/.ssh; [Environment] SSH_ASKPASS=/app/libexec/openssh/ssh-askpass OBSIDIAN_CLEAN_CACHE=1 OBSIDIAN_ENABLE_AUTOSCROLL=0 PATH=/usr/bin:/app/bin:/app/texlive/bin:/app/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux:/app/texlive/bin/aarch64-linux XCURSOR_PATH=/run/host/user-share/icons:/run/host/share/icons:~/.icons OBSIDIAN_DISABLE_GPU=0 GH_PATH=gh ``` ### Hardware Information ```bash session $ lspci -nn | grep -E 'VGA|Display' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P [Intel Arc Graphics] [8086:7d55] (rev 08) $ glxinfo -B name of display: :0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device: Mesa Intel(R) Arc(tm) Graphics (MTL) (0x7d55) Version: 25.0.5 Accelerated: yes Video memory: 15864MB Unified memory: yes Preferred profile: core (0x1) Max core profile version: 4.6 Max compat profile version: 4.6 Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1 Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.2 OpenGL vendor string: Intel OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) Arc(tm) Graphics (MTL) OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 25.0.5-arch1.1 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.60 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.0.5-arch1.1 OpenGL shading language version string: 4.60 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL profile mask: compatibility profile OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 25.0.5-arch1.1 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20 ``` ### System Information ```bash session $ uname -a Linux starlabs 6.14.6-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 09 May 2025 17:36:18 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 48.1 $ flatpak --version Flatpak 1.16.1 ``` ### Logs ```bash session $ flatpak run md.obsidian.Obsidian Debug: Enabling Wayland backend Deleting cache directory: /home/user/.var/app/md.obsidian.Obsidian/config/obsidian/GPUCache Debug: Will run Obsidian with the following arguments: --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations --enable-wayland-ime --wayland-text-input-version=3 Debug: Additionally, user gave: [14:0520/132111.340334:ERROR:bus.cc(407)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory 2025-05-20 20:21:11 Loading main app package /app/resources/obsidian.asar LaunchProcess: failed to execvp: xdg-settings [14:0520/132111.609208:ERROR:bus.cc(407)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory [14:0520/132111.609277:ERROR:bus.cc(407)] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory 2025-05-20 20:21:11 Checking for update using Github 2025-05-20 20:21:11 Success. 2025-05-20 20:21:11 Latest version is 1.8.10 2025-05-20 20:21:11 App is up to date. $ file /run/dbus/system_bus_socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: socket $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland ```
